A pattern of tear perforations is provided in the substrate that forms a microwave reheating support. The pattern of tear perforations enables the substrate to be separated into portions so that the substrate can be adjusted in size and/or shape to correspond to the size and/or shape of the food product being heated. For example, a round substrate can include a circular pattern of tear perforations spaced radially inward from an outer circumference of the round substrate. This enables the outer peripheral portion of the round substrate to be removed to reduce the size (diameter) of the substrate for use with smaller-sized food products. The pattern of tear perforations can include one or more lines of tear perforations that extend across a substrate. For example, the lines of tear perforations can divide the circular substrate into a plurality of wedges that can be used, for example, to heat a slice of pizza instead of the entire pizza. Additionally, the line(s) of tear perforations can divide a box or sleeve, which may contain multiple food products (spring-rolls, for example) into individual supports (boxes or sleeves), each containing a single food product.

A microwave reheating support that is configurable to food products having a variety of different shapes and sizes for heating the food products, said support comprising: a substrate including a base layer and a microwave susceptor layer that increases in temperature when exposed to microwave energy

A microwave reheating support that is configurable to food products having a variety of different shapes and sizes for heating the food products, said support comprising: a substrate including a base layer and a microwave susceptor layer that increases in temperature when exposed to microwave energy; said substrate including: a first perforation line pattern including a plurality of perforation lines, at least some of said perforation lines in said first perforation line pattern crossing each other at an intersection point, and a second perforation line pattern including a perforation line spaced inwardly from an outer circumference of said substrate so that an outer peripheral portion of said substrate can be removed by tearing said second perforation line pattern, said second perforation line pattern intersecting at least two of the plurality of perforation lines of said first perforation line pattern at locations other than said intersection point, said perforation lines in said first and said second perforation line patterns enabling said substrate to be configured so that said substrate can be adjusted in size and shape so as to be custom-fitted to the food products having the variety of different shapes and sizes.
